5 inch wheels

Have you checked with your local hobby shop handling off-road model RC cars and airplanes?

McMaster-Carr and MSC Direct have a large assortment, although the shipping can be pricey (but fast!).

You can get some 6" lawn mower wheels at Home Depot & maybe 5 inch ones.

You might also try searching for "caster wheels" in Google and/or eBay.

Good luck ! .

Five bucks a wheel for 5" wheels pretty much leaves one option: plastic replacement lawnmower wheels. You can usually get them at a home improvement store. Harbor Freight usually has them, too.

Otherwise, it's the surplus catalogs. If you're lucky.

Another thought: "window shop" in somewhere like ToysRUs and you might find a child's toy with suitable wheels where you can scrap the rest of the toy and just use the wheels. I found my favorite wheels so far doing almost that - I noticed the wheels on an electric scooter, then found a replacement parts source for that same model scooter on the web.

Good luck again !

Can you use these? Four for $8.

I would be interested to know what that replacement parts source was. I like the look of some of those scooter wheels.

in mind the pulley is glued to the wheel. It's an HTD 3M pitch pulley. They're great ! JCD

Hay, thanks guys. I got some wheels from one of the local hardware store. 6" but they work and only where 4 dollars. Thanks again
